UN, Mar 17 Russian Ambassador to the UN Vasily Nebenzya called hypocrisy and double standards the refusal of the Security Council to hear the report of the Ombudsman of the DPR Daria Morozova.
Earlier, the United States proposed to hold a procedural vote on this issue. Four countries were in favor of Morozova's participation, eight were against, three countries abstained.
«We regret that a number of delegations opposed the speaker we proposed today. We see this as a manifestation of blatant hypocrisy and double standards, when representatives of Donbass are denied under far-fetched pretexts in the right to speak before the Security Council. This only confirms that you do not consider the inhabitants of Donbass to be people and you do not care about their suffering,» Nebenzya said.
